throtle cable ajustment

Post by axeman »

just replaced the throtle cable including the outer guide cable on my 2.1mv syncro. all is smooth and feeling good, how ever there dose not sceam to be eneough pull on the cable, it idles perfectly 900rpm ish. and revs freely from the peddle, but under load it dose not feel right,
when floored in the cab the cable needs about anouther 1/2 to 3/4 turn to truigger the full throttle switch.

any one got any ideas

Make sure any outer cable hasn't come adrift from where it was originally and readjust.

did you pull the throttle pedal fully up when pulling the cable through and locking off at the back. I replaced mine last week and found it to be 1/3 from tip of the locking rod front and back, the cable will stretch a bit over time.

all sorted now and what a difference, the old cable was always stiff, as if it was binding since i bought the van, always new this as our camper was much freer to press the pedle but for some reason i just ignored it untill it was no longer prastical. now i have more power more touque. drives like a totaly differnt van now. so finaly everything seams to be working as it should. lanba proble working, thotle switch working,

everything is good

only thing left on the list is to clean it :D
